EBMM reflex & 25th Anniversary Club

[Daniel Piper]

Well, I am still here...

Reflex still does the biz for me.

Would love to trade my (white HH) 5 for a 25th anniversary or PDN 4 banger.

 

[DavidbCan]

Well, I finally found my Reflex!
I actually ended-up buying a beautiful White HH4 from one of the members of this group.
I'm loving the Reflex ... a great addition to my growing collection of basses including my MM H5 a Tune TWB4, a Steinberger XL2, and a fretless Fender Jazz (the Red Raptor).
Very happy to join this team of Reflex owners ... Mr. Moderator ... can I have a number please???
David.

If any folks would be interested in trading their reflex for a bongo 6 HH in all black, get back to me. Still wanting one of these basses.

 

[DavidbCan]

Hey Scuzzy,
Hope someone takes you up on that trade.
Not me, sorry ... I will NEVER part with my EBMM Reflex! Incredible bass.
David.

thanks. it is looking more promising, as I have a cash offer on my bongo I should be moving next week. then the search begins! I have one I am watching, but if anyone sees an HSS model pop up anywhere, 4 or 5 string, please pm me!

Last day of 2018- I have been playing my Reflex since the first days of 2011- one of the first to come off the line I believe.

Ordered it as soon as it appeared in the EBMM website


Still hunting for a 4 banger to go alongside my 5 string

Had a first outing of my new (to me) Reflex 5 HH today – wonderful bass. Have been moving more and more towards the Musicman sound as "my" tone so it was a wonderful addition to my bass collection, even if I had to say goodbye to a fantastic bass with a high level of sentiment attached. My first 5 string too so it's triggered some good examination of my technique.

I've noted that even with new Roundwounds on, it's not particularly treble focused – really have had to push a few elements in my chain to get bite out of it. Could perhaps be because it's got so much low end and rich midrange to play with.

Does anyone with a hss find the neck pickup get in the way when slapping/poping ? Considering buying one , but have that concern, and can't try it first. Thanks

It doesn't seem to for me, and I tend to slap closer to the fretboard. I have the 5 string HSS 25th Anniversary in the quilted top. Very comfortable to play, and there are so many different tones you can get out of it. I've thought a couple times about letting it go, since I have some other Music Man basses, but it is so unique I just can't seem to do it.

i have found a member of the ebmm forums that is looking to sell his HSS 25th anniversary 5 string, so hopefully I'll be acquiring it in the next couple weeks. that should complement my SSS Big al Dargie Delight II very well.

Just sent payment....membership should be coming soon.

That would be an amazing pair. Looking forward to the comparison between the two!

scuzzy, I just dropped your new bass off with FedEx this morning. I hope you it's everything you expect it to be. I never thought I'd sell that bass, until I bought the 25th anniversary BFR 5H with the solid rosewood neck.

You are on here! I was going to ask. Very cool. I've been looking for a reflex hss 5 for years after I bought my first big Al. I'm excited to get my hands on it.

Very happy to be a part of this group!

NBD: Finally found one! My EBMM 25th Anniversary / Reflex 5-string

 

[scuzzy]

Anyone using flats on theirs? Particularly eb cobalt flats?

 

[duckman]

As soon as I got my Reflex HH I replaced the EB rounds with LaBella tape wounds... spectacular! the most versatile bass I ever owned

 

[Angry Mob With Pitchfork]

I had a set of chromes on my HSS for a good couple of years but eventually went back to ss rounds. I felt that I could better utilize the 4 bands pre with rounds which yielded wider variety of tones. YMMV.

 

[Angry Mob With Pitchfork]

Add to above, I find 25th anniversary/reflex models excellent for chordal strums and tapping (tapping I don't do very often but fun nonetheless). SS rounds sound great for these techniques. I do miss the middle pickup solo'ed with flats tone though.
